As the train bearing the special correspondents aped eastward, the reports at-each atop grew more appalling At Berry agronp eirailwayofficialsjra gathered who had come from JWivar, the end of the WfJffWthewaa westward.

The greatest excitement njre-7ailed at this place and parties of tttizens are out endeavoring to save the .- poor unfortunates that are being hurled to eternity on the rushing torrent. Xhe tidal wave struck Bolivar just after dark and in five minutes the Conemaugh rose from six to forty feet and th waters spread out. over the whole country. Soon houses began floating -down, and, clinging to the debris were men, women and children shrieking for aid. A large number of citizens at once gathered on the county bridge and they were reinforced by a number from Garfifid, a town on the opposite side. They brought a number of ropes, and these were thrown over into the boiling waters as parsons drifted by, in efforts to save some poor beings. For a half hour all efforts were fruitless, until at last, when the rescuers were about giving up all hope, a little boy, astride of a shingle roof, managed to catch hold ' of one of the ropes. He caught it under liis left arm and waa thrown violently
against an abutment, but managed to keep hold and was pulled onto the bridge amid the cheers of the on-look-eiBvThe boy's name is Edward Header, aged sixteen. , . . At midnight your correspondent secured an interview with him. His story of the. frightful calamitv is. as fotfowF: . - "With my father, I was spending the -daj at my grandfather's house in Cambria City. In the house at the time were Theodore Edward and John Kintx and John Kintx, jr., Miss Mary Kintz, Mrai Mary Kintz, wife of John, jr., Miss Tracy Kintz, Mrs. Rica Smith. John Hirach and four children, my father and myself. Shortly after 5 o'clock there was ar noise of roarine waters and
'eereama of people. We looked out the door and saw persona running. My iather told us to never mind, as the waters would not rise further. But Boon we saw houses being swept away and then ran up to the floors above. The house was three stories and we were at last forced to the top one. In my fright I jumped on the bed. It waa an old-fashioned one with heavy posts. The water kept rising and my bed waa anon afloat Gradually it was lifted up. The air in the room grew close and the house was moving. 8till the bed kept rising and pressed tne ceiling. At last the posts posted the plaster. It yieledcVand a section othe roof gave way. Then suddenly I found myself on the roof and waa being carried down stream. After a little the roof commenced to part, and I was afraid I

anotner nouse witn a shingle roof floated by, and I managed to crawl on it, and floated down until nearly dead with cold; I was saved. After I waa freed from the house I did not see my father. My grandfather was-in a tree, but he must have been drowned as the water was rising. John Kintz, jr. was also in the tree. Miss Mary Kintz and Mm Mary Kintal saw drown. Miss Smith also drowned. John Hirach was in a tree, but the four children were drowned. The scenes were terrible. Live bodies and corpses were floating down with me and away from me. I would hear a person shriek, and then they would disappear. All along the line were people who were trying to save us. but thev
could do nothing, v and only a few more were caught." .'. The boy's story is but one incident; it shows what happened to one family.
God only knows what has happened to
nunareua wno were in tne path of the rushing waters. It is impossible to get anything in the way of news, save
meagre details. An eve witness at
Oliver block station telle a story of un
paralleled terrorism which occurred at the lower bridge which crosses the'
Conemaugh at this point
A man named Young, with two
women, was seen coining down the
river on a .part of a floor. At the upper
onoge a rope was tnrown to tnem. This they all failed to catch. Between
tne two bridges he was noticed to point toward the elder woman, which it ia supposed was his mother. Be was then seen to instruct the woman how, to catch the rope which was being lowered
from the other bridge. Down came the
raft with a rush. Young stood with
his arm around the two women.
As they swept under the bridge he
reached up and seized the rone. He
waa jerked violently away from the two
women, whs failed to get a hold on the
rope. Seeing that they would not be
rescued, he dropped the rone and fed
back on the raft, which floated down the river. The current washed their frail craft in toward the bank. The
young man was enabled to seize hold of
a branch of a tree. The young man aided
the woman to get up into the tree. He held on with his hands, and rested his
feet on a pile of driftwood. A piece of
floating debris struck the drift, sweeping
it away. The man hung with his body immersed in the water. A pile of drift
soon collected, and he waa enabled to
set another secure hold. Up the liver
there was a sudden crash, and a section of the bridge waa washed away and
floated down the stream, striking the
tree and washing it away. All three were thrown into the water and were drowned before the eyes of the horrified spectators, just opposite the town of Bohvar. . . Early in the evening a woman with her two children was seen to pass under the bridge at Bolivar clinging to the roof of a coal house. A rope waa

lowered to her, but she shook her head and refused to desert the children. Tt was rumored that all three were saved at Cokeville, a few miles below Bolivar. A later report from Lockport says that the residents succeeded in rescuing five people from the flood, two women
and three men. One man succeeded in
getting out of the water unaided. They were kindly taken care of by the people of the town ..... A little girl passed under the bridge just before dark. She was kneeling on a: part of a floor, and her hands clasped as if in prayer Every effort was made to save her, but they all proved futile. The railroader, who was standing by, remarked that the piteous- appearance of the little waif brought tears to his eyes. . ,. ;.. . All night long the crowd stood about the ruins of the bridge which had been
swept away at Bolivar. The water rushed past with a roar, carrying with it par ts of houses, -furniture and trees.
The flood had evidently spent its force
up the valley, sio more living persons were being carried past. Watchers with lanterns remained along the banks un
til daybreak, when the first view of the awful devastation of the flood was
witnessed. Along the bank lav the ruins of what
had once been dwelling houses and
store. Here and there was an uprooted
tree. Piles of drift lay about, in some of which the bodies of the victims of the
flood will be found. Rescuing parties are being formed in all the towns along
the railroad, Houses have been thrown
open to refugees, and every possible
means will be used to protect the home
less. The wrecking trains of the Pennsylvania raihoad are slowly making
their way east to. the unfortunate city.
At 2 o clock this morning thev were
held at Bolivar. An effort was then
being made to repair the wrecks and the crews of the trains were organized into rescuing parties.
There is absolutely no news from
Johnstown. The little city is entirely
cutoff from communication with the
outside world. The damage done is inestimable. No one can tell its extent. The Cambria Iron Company's works are built on made ground. It stands near
the river, and many fear that it has been swept away or greatly damaged. The
loss of these" works alone will be in the
millions. The little telegraph stations
along the road are filled with anxious groups of men who have friends and relatives in Johnstown. The smallest item of news is seized upon and circulated. If favorable, they have a moment of relief; if not, their faces become moie gloomy. Harry Fisher, a young telegraph
operator, wno was at jsouvar wnen tne first rush began, says: "We know nothing of the disaster until we saw the river slowly rising, and then more rapidly. News then reached us from Johnstown that the dam at South Fork had burst. Within three hours the water in the river rose at least twenty feet. Shortly before 6 o'clock ruins of houses, beds, household utensils, barrels and kecs came floating past the bridges. At 8 o'clock the water was within six feet of the roadbed of tb e bridge. The wreck floated past without stopping for at least two hours. Then it began to lessen, and night coming suddenly upon us we could see no more. The wreckage was floating by for a long time before the first living person went down. Fifteen people that I saw were carried down the river. One of these, a boy, was saved, and three of them were drowned just below town. It was an awful night and one that I will not soon forget." . THS RESERVOIR AND its LOCATION. , In order to understand the nature of this calamity, it is necessary to describe the respective locations of the reservoir and Johnstown. The reservoir lies about two and a half miles northeast of Johnstown, and is on the site of the old reservoir, which was one of the feeders o the Pennsylvania canal. It is the property of a number of wealthy gentlemen in Pittsburg, who formed themselves into the corporation, the title of which is the "South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club." This sheet of water was formerly -known as Conemaugh lake. It is from 200 to 300 feet above the level of Johnstown, being in the mountains. It is about three and onehalf miles long, and from a mile to one and one-fourth miles in width, and in some places it is 100 feet in depth. It holds more water than any other reser
voir, natural or artificial, in the United
States. The lake has been quadrupled in size by artificial means and was held
in check by a dam from 700 to 1,000
eet wide. It is ninety feet in thickness
at the base and the height is 110 feet. The top has a breadth of over twenty
eet Becognizing the menace which
the lake was to the region below, the
South Fork Club had the dam inspected once a month by the Pennsylvania
railroad engineers, and their investiga tion showed that nothing less than Borne convulsion of nature would tear the
barrier away and loosen the weapon of
death. The steady rains of the last
orty-eight hours increased the volume
of water in all the sin all mountain streams, which were already swelled
by the lesser rains early in the week. The following dispatch waa received
from Philadelphia May 31:
The reservoir or dam at South Fork
which is said to have burst with such
terrible results, is described by a gentleman acquainted with the locality' in
which it waB situated to be an immense
bo iy of water formerly used as a water
supply for the old Pennsylvania canal.
It has been owned for several years by a
number of Pittsburg gentlemen who
used it as a fishing ground. . The gentle
man who gave this information said
that if the report of the bursting of the dam was true he had no doubt that the
damage and loss of life was fully as
great as indicated in the dispatches, V
a human being was being carried to his death. The scenes along the river are wild in the extreme. Although at this hour the water iB gradually subsiding, still, as it dashes against the rocks that fill the narrow channel of the Conemaugh, its spray is carried high up the shore. THE WATER THICK WITH PEOPLE. Bolivar, Pa., May 31. --The water is higher here tlian was ever known, and two-story houses, barns, stables, whole forests of trees, out-houses, smoke houses, railroad bridgeB,county bridges, rafts, inverted skiffs, and driftwood by the acre, from all of which imploring hands were held out to those on the banks willing, but . impotent, to help, have floated down the swollen torrent of the Conemaugh. Information received is meagre, but for the most part, accurate. At Lockport, two miles east, more than twenty people have bwen taken from the flood. .. The first great rush of water, reached here at 7 oclock this evening, This came from the bursted dam above Johnstown. It came Hue a frenzied whirlpool, and before the people could realize it, they were in its grasp. Fortunately the people living on the lowlying ground escaped. At 7:30 o'clock a great pile of driftwood was swept along and from it shriek upon shriek for "help," "help," "or God's Bake
come!
The horrified spectators on the shore
saw three women, to one of whom were clinging two children, neither of whom was apparently more than an infant. The rapidity of the . current and the position of the raft together with the lack of facilities for rescuing.
precluded the possibility of ever thinking of the matter, and the raft passed out of sight, the screams of. the women and children blending in their pleadings for aid long after the raft was around the bend. The stream then became thick, strewn with men, women and children clinging
to all sorts of temporary means of salva
tion. Two men and two women were clinging to the tops of huge trees, the
men emulating the women in their shrieks for help that it was not possible to give. Just at dark a lad was seen clinging to a log. James Curry secured a long line and ran to the river bank. The noose oi the lasso fell over the boy's neck and shoulders, and a moment later the drenched, poverty stricken little fellow was hauled to the bank. He was soon restored, and stated that his name was Edwin Harsten, thirteen years of age. He has lived with his father and grandfather and mother in Cambria City, apart of Johnstown. At 4' o'clock their home had been, caught in the volume of water let loose by the bursting of the darn They had all climbed upon a mass of drift wood, and were carried alone. Their raft went to pieces against a bridge pier, and he had not seen his relatives since, but thought that they were drowned.
The course of the torrent from the
broken dam at the foot of the lake to
Johnstown is almost eighteen miles.
and with the exception of a lone point the water passed through a narrow Vehaped vauey. Four miles below the dam lay the town of South Fork, where
the South Fork itself empties into the Conemaugh river. The town contained
about two thousand inhabitants. It has not been heard from, but it is said that four-fifths of it has been swept
away, r our mues iurtherdown on the
Conemaugh river, which runs parallel
with the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, was the town of Mineral Point.
It had 800 mhabitans, 00 per cent, of the. houses being on a fiat close ; to the
river, it seems impossi Die ac-tms time to hope that any of them have escaped.
Six miles further down was the town oi
Conemaugh, and hore alone was there
a topogram hical possibility of the spread
ing of the flood and the breaking or its force. It contained 2,500 inhabitants and must be almost wholly devastated.
Wood vale, with z.uuo people, lay a
mile below Conemaugh in the flat, and
one mile further down were Johnstown
audits cluster of sister towns Cambria
City and Conemaughborough, with
total population of 30.000. On made
ground and stretched along the river
verge were the inmense iron works of
the Cambria iron and steel company
who have $5,000,000 invested in their
plant. Besides this, there are many
other large industrial establishments on
the bank of the river, the damage to
which cannot be estimated.
At 11 p. m. a railroad man says the loss of life will reach hundreds, and
perhaps over a thousand.
A supervisor rrom up the road brings
the information that the wreckage at
Johnstown is piled up forty feet above the . bridge. The startling news also comes that more than 1,000 lives have
been lost. This cannot be substantiated
It is known by actual count that 110
people were seen floating past Sang
Hollow before dark. Forty-seven were counted at New Florence, and the number had diminished to eight at Bolivar.
ThiB will give some idea of the terrible fatality. The darkness coming on stopped further count, and it was only by the agonizing cries that rang out above the rise of the waters that it waa known
Of all the great disasters in the bistoT' of the world, the one at Johnstown, Pa., will probably figuro as the greatest that ever occurred in a civilized community. The first reports of the awful loss of life are not only verified by later particulars but the number of dead it is conceeded will exceed the first, named eight or ten times over. Adjutant General Hastings estimates the number of tho3e who lost their lives at 8,000 to 15,000. Not a living soul had entered or departed from Johnstown since the hour of the disaster. Attempts will be made to enter the city by means of skiffs. A gentleman iust in from Johnstown
estimates the loss of life at fully 12,000. It is reported that bufc seventy buildings
are left, standing. Bodies are being
hauled out of Sang Hollow by the wagon load as they drift down. The horror of the place" is beyond description. An attempt will be made to make a record of all persons dead and living. The most conservative reports place the loss of life at 5,000 to 7,000, and it may reach 10,000. It is known that the passenger trains on the Pennsylvania road, were thrown into the maddened torrent and many of the passengers drowned. The trains were. held on a siding between Johnstown and Conemaugh stations. The awful torrent came down the narrow defile between the mountains, a distance of nine miles, with a fall' of 300 feet. The deluge came down against them with such resistless force that the heavy trains, locomotives Pullmans and all were overturned and swept .down the torrent, and. wsre lodged against thegreat stone . viaduct, along with forty-one locomotives from the Johnstown round-house, the heavy machinery and ponderous framework of the Gautier mill, and accumulated debris oi more than a thousand houses, furniture, bridges, lumber, drift and human beings. The low arches of the stone viaduct choked up . immediately, and the water backed over the entire level, to a depth of 38 feet. In the great sea thus formed thousands of people were struggling for life. The accumlated drift at the viaduct caught fire from the upsetting of stoves or lamps. As the flames crackled and roared among the dry timber of the floating houses, human bodies were seen between the house roofs, lpcpmotivee, cars, etc., the greedy flames licking with haste their diet of human flesh. No rescue was possible. Strong men turned away with agonized expressions and women screamed at the awful horror of the scene. It will be impossible to know
the exact loss of life; if ever, not-until
he waters have subsided and the debris
removed. A correspondent was the
first man to cross to Johnsto wn proper, which he did by means of a basket sus
pended from a cable, as passengers are removed from , wrecked Bhips. : The
whole city had been swept away, but a
ew buildings remaining. The hotel
Hulbert had 65 guests.63 of whom were
killed by the falling walls. Employes of
the Cambria Co's iron and nail works
were warned to nee to the hillside.
Keating in fancied security they loitered
about the mills and were engulfed in an
instant and their bodies strewn along
the Uonemaugh, Juskimini and Alle
gheny rivers, some of them being caught
as far down the Ohio river as Rochester.
xnuamona. st. uoiumoia s cnurch. a

depth of seven incheB with a sl:imy ooze.

"My Maggie, mv little Maegie, and
giving expression to ejaculations of deep grief. He carried the child to what had
been his home and laid it beside the
brms of his wife and two otuer children,
all or whom had been drowned. It ?s impossible to narrate the many pathetic incidents. At Morrell forty-three bod ies
were laid out,, eight, of them children.
At NmevahlOo bodies were laid out in a saw mill and additions were being
made by wagon loads it a time. There ' 111. I A.l! i . 1

Many of the survivors tell of thrilling escapes. The number of people visible
from the banks were so few in contrast
with the population af the various bor
oughs which constitute the city that the Question, "where are the people?" . is
asked on all sides. The awftilnessof the
sceae defies language to d6j.uet as it does
imagination to conceive of. Without see
ing the navoc created, no idea canbe given
even of the desolation or the extent of
the damage. How many bodies, lie
beneath the great bed of fire.underswepfc by a raging torrent, the uncovering of
their bones can alone determine. The
agonized cries oi tne menus who can
not learn any tidings of their loved ones is most pathetic and deplorable.
When a form is seen to drop down deep
er into the flames from the burning
away of supports, shrieks pierce the air
like the wail of a lost soul . The survivors are camping on the mountain side, and
food, clothing and BbeUer are greatly
needed. Dead bodies are lying along
the banks of the river between Sanjj Hollow and Johnstown as "thick as flies." It is the most terrible sight evei: witnessed. The Cambria Iron Works, valued at $5,000,000, is a total loss. The people of Johnstown had been warned several times in the morning of the danger and directed to move to the highlands, but they did not heed the warning. They laughed at the idea ol danger. A very few hours later these people were beiEg carried down in a surging torrent, drowned, burned or crushed in the maelstrom of disaster, President Harrison's Private Secretary. E. J. Halford, and wife, were on the train lying at Conemaugh, which was swept; away but they escaped, Great crowds lined tho river at Pittsburg. A large amount of debris was carried by. The river T03e many feet, but did no serious damage. The Pennsylvania railroad is a very heavy loser. Its tracks are washed away for many miles, bridges destroyed aud road bed washed out. The relief from the country will be generous aud general, Pittsburg in one day contributed relief to the amount of $100,000. Estimates of the loss of life, say still later reports, do not seem to have been exaggerated. Six hundred bodies are
now lying in Johnstown and a large number have alrsady been buried. Four
immense relief trains have arri ved and
the survivors are well cared for. , A por
tion of the police force of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are on duty, and order is
being maintained. Communication between Johnstown and Cambria City has hees restored bv a foot bridge. The
work of repairing the railroad track is i
going rapidly forward. Fifteen thousand strangers are in the vicinity. The
handsome school building is wrecked.
The Normal Institute is totally ruined. Library Hall and the Episcopal Church
are wiped out. A placut lake occupies
the site of the latter. James M. Walters,
an attorney, spent the night in Alma
hall, and relates a thrilling story. One of the most curious occurrences of the
whole disaster w as how Mr. Waletrs got
to the hall. He has his office on the second floor. His home is at No. 135 Walnut street. He says he was in the house with his family when the waters struck it. All was carried away. Mr. Walters' family drifted on a roof in an other direction, He.passed down several streets and alleyB until he came to the hall. His dwelling struck that edifice and he was thrown into his own office. About two hundred persons had taken refuge in the ball and were on the second, third and fourth stories. The men held a meeting and drew up some rules which all were bound to respect. Mr. Walters was chosen president, the Rev. Mr. Beale was put in charge oi the first floor, A, M. Mart of the second floor and Dr. Matthews of the fourth floor. No lights were alio wed. and the whole night was Bpent in darkneBB. The sick were cared for. The weaker women and children had the best accommodations that could be bad, while the others had to wait. The scene was most agonizing; heart rending shrieki?, sobs and moans pierced the gloomy dark ness. The crying of childre n mingled with the suppressed sobs of the women. Under the guardianshi p of the men, all took hope. No one
slept during all the long, dark night.
Many knelt for hours in prayer, their
supplications mingling with the roar of
the waters and the shrieks of the dying in the surrounding houses, In ail this misery two women gave premature birth
to children. Dr. Matthews is a hero.
Several of his ribs were crushed by fall
ing timber and his pains were most severe, yet he attended all the sick. When two women in a house across th e street shouted for help, he, with two other brave young men climbed across the drift and ministered to their wants. No one died: during the night, but women and children surrendered their lives on the succeeding day as a result of terror and fatigue, .When Supt. Pitcairn telegraphed i;o Pittsburg that Johnstown was annihilated he came very cloee to the facts of the case, although he had not seen the ill-fated city. To say that Johns
town is a wreck is but stating the facts
dogs thev were. Other and Bimilar
cases are reported, but on Monday com
plete control of the territory had been
secured. The disastor at Johnstown,
Pa., is the greatest m modern history.
Dead everywhere. That is the burden of Tuesday's telegrams. Three
thousand bodies alread5r recovered.
Over one thousand discovered in Johns
town on Monday alone. Victims of the awful deluge tound by scores beneath
each pile of debris and in mud and sand
by the river side. Fully 30 per cent of the residents of Johnstown and Cambria
were either drowned or burned in the funeral pyre. The loss to property in
tho devastated district is pkced at $25,000,000. The nation is nobly respond
ing to the silent appeals for assistance.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
already been contributed. Almost
every city in the Uriion proffering cash
and necessaries.
MrMcConaughey.chief of the bureau of registration, said, Wednesday, that he
is convinced that the number who per
ished is ml ly 10.000, or more. Across
the river at Old Nineveh, nine miles
below Johnstown, thhty-five bodies
were taken out of the debrig and mud.
Tuesday. This is the first opening of
the narrow valley through which the Conemaugh dashes like' a mill race. From the acres of mud on the Nineveh side of the river 200 bodies were recovered in a little while, Tuesday, making 700 bodies recovered at that point. The searchers find many bodies by means of a hand or a piece of clothing sticking up through the mud, They carry long sticks with which they prod the soil. Often the spade will reveal a dozen bedies within a few feet of each other. One ot the most ghastly finds was that of a baby, which was hanging in a tree. I ta foot had caught in a fork, and by this means it was suspended. One of the men reached up with a pole to pull down what he believed to be a piece of clothing, when the body fell. At the present rate there . will soon be a live man digging in the ruins to every dead one. The labors of the searchers were rewarded by. the discovery of a corpse about every five minuteB. As a general thing the bodies were almost unrecognizable unless by marks or letters on their person. In every case decomposition has set in, and the work of the searchers is becoming one that will test their stomachs as well as their hearts. A reeking menace to life and health lies in the bed of the Conemaugh for 300 yards above the Pennsylvania railroad bridge. When the drift accumulated against this adamantine structure, hundredB-rrSome say thousands of bodies were pinioned under the debris. It extends across the river 400 feet and
twice that distance up etream. The awful story of how it caught fire and burned for three days, "roasting the pinioned victims and filling the vallev with the sickening odo of burning flesh has been related. But the flames tired of their work too soon. They had burned the top off the huge pile and left the foul sediment to act as a sieve for the Conemaugh. Hundreds of halfburned corpses were taken off the place but every timber held others where the
strongest of machinery would be required to reach and liberate, them. Blasters have been at work all the afternoon near the stone bridge. Mr. Kirk has decided that the bodieci will rot be
fore half of them can be reached in his
manner.

Probably fifteen thousand houses have been swept away from the face of. the earth as completely as if they had never been erected. Main street from end to end, is piled fifteen to twenty feet hish with debris, and in some instances it is
as high as the roof of the houses. This
great mass of wreckage tills the street from curb to curb, and frequently has
crushed the fronts of the, buildings in and filled the space 'with reminders of
the terrible calamity.
The most conservative people declare that the dead will number 5,000. The
streets have been full of men carrying
bodies to , various places, where they
await identificatiion. and the work has
only just begun. Every hour or so tme forces of men working "on the various
heapB of debris lind numbers of bodies
buried in the mud and wreckage. It is believed that when the flames are extinguished in the wreckage at the bridge and the same is removed that hundreds and hundreds o:f victims will be discovered. In fact, this seems certain, as dozens of bodies have already been found on the outskirts of the hugh mass
of broken timber.
Those people who were not disabled
are working earnestly for the revival of
the stricken city, but it will take months
of work to comi anywhere near repairing the fearful damage, while it is about certain that the liBt .of the lost will never be made complete. The supply of coffins sent in from Pittsburg and other points is bo great that the relief committee tele$?raphed Sunday evening not to Bend any more until ordered. No funds have yet been received from Philadelphia, but the authorities are confident that when telegraphic communication is restored they will get liberal contributions from that city. Dozens of smaller towns have already sent in generous amounts, and the people are encouraged to believe that all their more pressing - wants will be provided for. It will take several days yet to ascertain a definite idea as to the loss of life, but it will certainly reach up into the thousands. Every hour brings fresh evidences of the fac t that the disaster eclipses anything of the kind in the history of the country, and no one can say what the final result will he. HUMAN GHOULS. The pillaging of the houses in JohnB-
town is something awful to contemplate and describe. It makes one feel almost ashamed to call himself a man and know that others who bear the same
name have converted themselves into
human vultures, preying on tha dead.
Men are carrying shot guns ana re

being sold in town Sunday for a drink

established m the ward of Johnstown,
A line of me:o, women and children

to have their wants supplied.
Each hour reveals some new and hor

started out to rob the dead, several

They were soon caught in the act.

Some
of tho Peculiarities ot Their
Wonderful Work. - .
Special to Cincinnati Commercial gazette, . . Indianapolis, May 5. When the laat General Assembly could spare .si few moments from its effort to create places for needy Democrats, it occupied uhem in doing absurd and fooliBh things. Two or three years ago the notion seized upon some of .the mighty minds that stow and vegetate in this State, that there was some sort of a school-book trust by which the people were robbed of their money, and the school children of the fruits of the education for, which their parents were taxed. ThiB was a mighty crime in the eyes of those bucolic statesmen. Some of the brilliant editors who furnish ideas for the unenlightened, took up the cry and made the columns of their papers to fairly howl day after day. Nothing would, appease them, aud they would not be convinced that the people would not suffer great hardships from this monster school-
book combine, unless it was overthrown by State legislation. The good people in whose behalf all this turmoil was created, quietly laughed at the efforts of their self -appointed guardians. There is something in the atmosphere in . Indiana that operates upon the brains of a man, as soon as he is elected to the Legislature, that drives him to act the fool as certainly as hunger drives the hog to the feed trough. This intangible something drove some members of the Legislature to conceive the idea that the State ought to set itself up for a school book publisher, and the youthful mind he educated upon a new and -scientific schedule, patented and ouginated by the . Hoosiers. Two years ago this idea was formulated into a bill and presented to the Legislature. From sundry causes, not necessary just now to state, the bill failed of meeting any great degree of favor. It was renewed, however, at the last session of the G eneral Assembly: The original proposition was that the State should set up a book publishing house of its own; that .the text oi the various works should bo prepared under the supervision of a Democratic Commission appointed by the General Assembly. A series of text books thus prepared would be a curiosity and would furnish amusement for a generation or two to ?ome. I remember that some three or four years ago it was discovered that all reference to the late war of the rebellion was ordered excluded from the teachings of the public schools of this city. Upon investigation it was found that this was done at the instigation of member of the School Board who, in the days of the rebellion, had been prominently identified with the Knights of the Golden Circle,, and who had at one time been on trial for treason against the Government. Upon further investigation it was found that the historical text book used in the school1) . was. prepared by a Virginia ex-Confederate, and tn at i ts account of the war w.s alto gether from a Southern standpoint. With these facta, in mina it may readily be seen that a series of school books gotten up under Democratic in
spiration would be rich meat for public
education. It ought alsu to be borne in
mind that the Democrats of this city
endeavored to have excluded frcm the
schools all books which taught the evil effects of alcohol on the human system,
and that nearlv every Democratic mem
ber of the last General Assembly voted against a bill which provided that the schools of the State should have in
their curriculum works which exemplify the fact that alcohol is not good either
for the mind or body of man.
It waB firs t determined m the Demo
cratic caucus that the bill should be
come a law as originally introduced. By it places would be furnished for a
very large number of Democratic heel
ers and strikers; but finally they were
driven from that position, and the bill
was so amended as to throw open the doors of competition to book publishers and wculd-be writers and compilers.
In making these changes the work was
done so bunelingly that the bill as it
now stands is a monument to stupidity,
ignorance and vicious law making.
There is not power enough in the com
bined intellect of the world to snow
just what the legislators meant in some
sections oi toe oiu, u xney meant any
thing, which is very doubtful, 'ine
worts of contracting for the school hooka was taken out of the hands of the pro
posed Democratic Commissioners and
- -f-
placed in those of the State Board of
Education. The State Board prom
met and for several hours "raseeled
with the law, trying to bring order oat of chaos and certainty out of vagueiiesft By placing a forced construction on eral sections, so as to make them mean what they would have had them to if : they had made the law originally, they finally formulated a series of instructiona to biddeis. . " - .., :S The contractor is bound up to do a great many things, but if any one can find in the law, among all its multifarious provisions, any way by which ho can get his money with any kind of certainty it would: be a gracious favor for them to point it out County Superintendents, Township Trustees and School Commissioners are made the agents for the sale of the books con tracted for. They are to receive no compensation for their handling and ' care of the books, and yet they are to be resnonsiblo for their value. It ,
will take asv much red tape for school child to get a spelling book as it now does for a man to eet his
pay from the government for furnishing a bag of oats to an army Quariermaster. The child makes a requisition upon the
Township Trustee, the Trustee upon tne
County Superintendent, the County Superintendent upon the State Super- . intendent, and the State Superintend
ent upon the contractor. Thus, some time long after the child has passed the stage of needing a school book,; and has -entered upon the cares of maintaining a
family of his own, the spelling book if
h kfil v t, TARch him. He will' be verr
lucky if it gets to him in time for the" use of his grandchild; and the contractor will be lucky to get his pay by the time the grandchild in turn is a grandfather. ' If, in the view of the State Board of i Education, no ?fcext book on any subject is equal to the work of showing the ; Hoosier ybuthfnl idea how to shoot, the Board may contract with some author or. -compiler to get up one to suit the emerr gency. When the manuscript is readyJi-, Bien the Board is required to go sklrmishinff over thct countary to hunt for ft
publisher..: . t..,;.v' 'v. : '':.. The law requires all bidders to give ft bond that they will enter into a contract, if one should be awarded to them, but there is no provision that they shall si 7e bond for the faithful performance
of their contract. Neither does the law make it obligatory upon any School Board to adopt, or use the school books when bo contracted for, and the 'puV lisher must run the risk of getting his t books upon the market after he has 1 printed them. The -legislators were very careful to insert a provision that it shall be a pcirt of the terms of thecontract that the State shall in no case Reliable to the contractor for any sum whatever. The only method by which
the contractor can get any pay for hJft books is as roundabout as that bv which his books are put upon the market. The Township Trustees, at stated intervals, report? to the County Superintendent the number and cost of booka sold, then, at certain other periods, the
County Superintendent makes report to the State Superintendent and, finally, : , that onlcial reports to the contractorj; If the contractor lias any reason to be
lieve that somewhere in the great 8tate
of Tyirlipft some one has sold more books than he has reported, his only way of satisfying himself on that point is to send some one out on a voyage of discovery. l"his agent will have to; visit each of the twelve hundred Town--1 ship . Trustees, the two hundred special .:; school boards the ninety-two County Superintendents, and, finally, the State Superintendent, .balancing the accounts of each one oi! the sixteen hundred persons visited and counting the books M they each have '-. on hand. When it ift- , all done he may find that some one'
owes him for a spelling book, Tlnsift legislation in : modern1. Indianft nnder Democratic auspices. It seems thiit something I have said in my correspondence has awakened the wrath of the editor of the Sentinel, tee Democratic State organ. I would not for anything in the world offend that august individual. I have a tender mercy and a compassionate,; sour "for1 him; that would make me rather injure myself than do harm to him. He nas let his; wrath so tafee possession of him that Via Hah Arm He d to me in the columns of
his paper such gentle and conciliator :? titles as "picturesque liar;" Ac It Jet -claimed that the Sentinel is edited herd in this city, and it is ostensibly so, but the real fact ib that it is edited and ; managed from the School for Feeble v Minded and Idiotic Children, mt Fort Wavne. It is the knowledge of tiiia . fact that has given me the compassionate Bpirit I have entertained toward --. that sheet. The devil has: long been. onnnnHPil fr IVA h VOAA liST in histOlT.
If that is true, and the Sentinel should -applv to his Satanic Majesty the epithet of liar, it would be another case of the pot calling the kettle black. 4-
